A favour please hope no one minds...

I speak some french but not informally enough to know this; i'd like to make a sampler for my french neighbours with a message like "home sweet home" or similar on it, could anyone suggest suitable phrases? Thanks,

.

I'd like to help but I don't really understand what you want. Is he moving house ?

No, i'm just after a little phrase, a french equivalent to 'home sweet home' or 'happy home' similar, so i can make a little sampler with a picture of a house flowers etc on. I wasn't sure if there was a similar type of thing in french, as like i said i don't know that much informal french yet. thanks for replying!

What about 'bienvenue' which means welcome?

That's a good idea, hadn't thought of it from that angle. It's so frustrating when you don't know your way around the language really easily, i think that comes from speaking it more and more. Thanks

Would something like "chez nous" work or is that weird written down rather than spoken?

home sweet home is used in French too, but if you really want something in French how about 'rien de tel qu'un bon chez soi' (nothing like home)

I think "chez nous" would sound a bit twee coming from a new neighbour but I may be wrong.

That's what i wondered. They're not new neighbours, but my dad would like to give them something like this for christmas. Maybe i will just do home sweet home and it can be an english gift!

totally missed your message just then birthdaybabe, that does sound impressively french! how would you phrase home sweet home?

just 'home sweet home', everyone knows what it means.

Ok then, thank you for your help and for putting up with my bad explanations!

no problem
